Short Covering

Short CoveringI have never shorted a stock, so do not know the process.  Only guessing from my experience with buying on margin.

When Hindenburg's report surfaced and they stated "zero" I can imagine some enterprising shorts bougtht contracts for something like 6 dollars.  My question is when it gets to 9 does the bank or other institution that loaned the shares ask for them back?  This would mean the shorter would have to buy today at 9 to get 6.  Do I have this correct?

Primarily trying to figure out when we will see a short squeeze (opposite of margin call?).  Is there enough uncertainty regarding tomorrow's financials?

That being said, I believe another poster nailed it this morning when they spoke about guidance.  I would not be surprised if earnings are 20M...I want to hear what they anticipate next quarter's to be.
